Barn Finds
Unlike most people who hear of a old car in a Barn or field rusting away, and pass it off as yea right, we hold every story to be true to some degree or another. Thats why our trucks are loaded with miles, and our trailers have had more tires replaced then ten trailers in their entire life time. Becase unlike most, "WE GO". We go anywhere, any time, and we look. Most are wild goose chases, most tend to be true to one degree or another, whether its actually a car in a Barn or not actually what we were told was their, or that 20 years ago it was actually right their but now long gone. But we have to go, because to us this is a treasure hunt and our treasure is covered in rust, and we are hooked. And every once in a while the story is true, and well that one story that is true, it just makes up for ever wild goose hunt or empty field. but through it all we have met some of the nicest people in the world and we look forward to when we see them again.
